      <title>Reason for Retraction </title>
      <p>This is a retraction notice. VIEW THE RETRACTED ARTICLE (<ext-link xlink:href="https://doi.org/10.14302/issn.2643-2811.jmbr-20-3237" ext-link-type="uri">https://doi.org/10.14302/issn.2643-2811.jmbr-20-3237</ext-link>), which was published on 21 March 2020</p>
      <p><italic>This notice is issued by the Editorial Manager on behalf of the </italic>Journal of Model Based Research (Open Access Pub)<italic>.</italic></p>
      <p>
        <bold>Citation of retracted article:</bold>
      </p>
      <p>Oyamakin S. Oluwafemi; Durojaiye M. Olalekan (2020). <italic>Monte Carlo Approach to Genotype by Environment Interaction Models. </italic>Journal of Model Based Research<italic> 1(2):26–33. DOI: </italic>10.14302/issn.2643-2811.jmbr-20-3237<italic>. </italic>Published: 21 March 2020.</p>
      <p>
        <bold>Reason for retraction:</bold>
      </p>
      <p>Following an editorial investigation, we confirmed <bold>redundant (duplicate) publication</bold>. A substantially similar article by the same authors was <bold>previously published</bold> in <bold>Biostatistics &amp; Biometrics Open Access Journal (Juniper Publishers)</bold>, <bold>Volume 10(1):5–10, February 2020</bold>, DOI <bold>10.19080/BBOAJ.2020.10.555777</bold>. The earlier publication constitutes the version of record. The later JMBR publication did not disclose prior publication or meet the criteria for acceptable secondary publication.</p>
      <p>
        <bold>Process:</bold>
      </p>
      <p>The investigation followed COPE guidance for handling redundant publication. The corresponding author(s) and the editor of the other journal were notified and given the opportunity to respond prior to this decision. The Editorial Manager determined that retraction is required to correct the scholarly record.</p>
      <p>
        <bold>Record status:</bold>
      </p>
      <p>The retracted article remains available to maintain the scholarly record and is clearly marked <bold>RETRACTED</bold> on the HTML and PDF. This notice links to the article, and the article links to this notice. The article’s open-license terms remain unchanged.</p>
      <p>
        <bold>Approvals:</bold>
      </p>
      <p>Approved by the Editorial Manager of <italic>Journal of Model Based Research. </italic></p>
      <p><bold>Date of retraction: </bold>10 February 2021. </p>
